Cannot remove autonumber format

[Roger Shuttleworth]

Hi Richard

Since I posted this (though like most of my posts it has still not 
appeared on the list) I have heard from India that it is a known issue 
that they are working on. That's because I also reported it as a bug.

The solution is to undock the Paragraph Designer - then you can remove 
the autonumbering. I tried this and it works.
